Where Should I go: Canary Islands or Pays de la Loire?

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are a territory of Spain located off the northwest coast of Africa. Made up of rugged volcanic islands, the archipelago is known for its black and white sand beaches with great surf as well as opportunities for hiking, biking, snorkeling, and scuba amongst other activities.

Pays de la Loire

Pays de la Loire is a region in western France with a coastline on the Bay of Biscay. It encompasses part of the Loire Valley and is famed for its vineyards. The valley's grand chateaux include the Chateau de Saumur, a hilltop medieval fort that contains a city museum, and the 7-story Chateau de Brissac, featuring period decor. Nantes, the regional capital, is home to the moated Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne, now a museum. Just a short ride from Paris, the region was once of immense strategic importance. Kings, queens, dukes and nobles came here to establish feudal castles and, later on, sumptuous pleasure palaces - that's why this fertile river valley is sprinkled with hundreds of France's most extravagant fortresses. It is also known for its outstanding wines and lively, sophisticated cities.
